Even the well-trained palace servants were stunned by the scene.
Xu Jingxiu is a third-rank general, while Jiang Tian doesn't even have a rank yet.
There's still a difference in their status; it's simply not right for Xu Jingxiu to kneel before Jiang Tian.
But the reality unfolded right before their eyes.
Xu Jingxiu knew that he had completely lost face this time.
If others knew that he knelt down before his ex-wife, they would definitely laugh their heads off.
What could he do? When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
If Yan Heng doesn't let him go, Xu Jingxiu's career will be ruined.
He cannot surrender without a fight; even if there is gold on his knees, he must kneel.
At this moment, everyone involuntarily looked at Jiang Tian, waiting for her reaction.
A general knelt before her; what should she do?
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Tian didn't say a word.
She didn't even glance at Xu Jingxiu, but walked straight into the Imperial Study.
Her steps were steady, her back view graceful, and her demeanor impeccable.
Xu Jingxiu was completely ignored.
In an instant, Xu Jingxiu clenched his fist.
He even lowered his head to hide his distorted expression.
He had considered many of Jiang Tian's reactions, but he never imagined that he would be ignored.
Jiang Tian walked confidently into the Imperial Study.
Seeing Yan Heng standing by the window, she knew that he had witnessed the entire scene.
"Your Majesty, the soup must be drunk while it's hot."
Yan Heng's gaze was unfathomable. He simply asked, "What do you think?"
Jiang Tian had no expression, only a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.
"My ex-husband is really good at being flexible. I ignored him this time, and I'm sure his paranoia will get worse."
Yan Heng's expression remained indifferent.
Xu Jingxiu's actions were unexpected, but not so difficult to understand.
He values power above all else. If kneeling down and kowtowing to Jiang Tian could get him released, Xu Jingxiu wouldn't be at a loss.
Unfortunately, he encountered Jiang Tian, who was determined.
With a long sigh of relief, Yan Heng had already developed his own plans regarding Xu Jingxiu.
He summoned a eunuch and instructed him to tell Xu Jingxiu to leave quickly.
The eunuch left quickly.
Not long after, Xu Jingxiu staggered to his feet, kowtowed to the Imperial Study, and then left step by step.
That figure exuded an indescribable sense of desolation.
A once capable minister has fallen to such a state.
Even the palace servants didn't know what to say.
However, the emperor is the greatest under heaven.
If the emperor doesn't like you, even if you hold a high position and are second only to the emperor, it's just a matter of him lifting a finger to bring you down.
No matter how destitute Xu Jingxiu is, no one will take the risk out of sympathy.
Everyone lives under imperial power, so living a good life is more important than anything else.
After Xu Jingxiu left, Yan Heng sat down, and Jiang Tian carefully arranged the dishes for him.
After tasting the soup she made, Yan Heng raised an eyebrow in surprise; the taste was actually quite good.
"Is this your work?"
Jiang Tian's eyes widened slightly: "You don't believe me?"
Yan Heng indeed did not believe it.
Jiang Tian had been in the palace for some time, but she had never cooked for him, so he didn't know how good her cooking skills were.
Remembering her skill in making clothes, Yan Heng asked a question.
Seeing the hint of anger on Jiang Tian's face, Yan Heng knew he had asked the wrong question.
He didn't say anything, but just finished the whole bowl of soup.
Jiang Tian had already started explaining to him.
“I wasn’t good at needlework when I was a child, but I had some talent in cooking. However, my mother always felt that it was shameful for a woman not to be good at needlework, so she kept me out of the kitchen often.”
"If I were born into a wealthy merchant family, I could open a restaurant and my business would be very successful."
